SWORD ART ONLINE ARISATION War of Underworld
＜Introduction
Kirito, Eugio, and Alice.
Half a year has passed since the two swordsmen and a knight with integrity defeated the High Priest and Administrator.
After the battle, Alice lives in her hometown of Lourid.
Next to her is Kirito, who has lost his best friend, his arm, and his heart.
Alice, who supports him devotedly, no longer has the heart of a knight as she once did.
Tell me, Kirito,......, what should I do,......?"
However, the countdown to the "Final Load Experiment," which will lead the entire Underworld to tragedy, is relentless.
As if in response, deep within the depths of the Dark Territory, the dark god Bekta has returned. Leading his dark army, he begins his invasion of the Human Realm in order to obtain the Priestess of Light.
The knight of integrity Vercuri, who commands the forces of the Human Realm, decides to engage the forces of the Dark Territory in a war of unprecedented scale.
However, Alice is still nowhere to be found. And the two heroes who saved the "human world" are still missing.
The final chapter of the longest and most beautiful battle in the "SAO" series, "Alicization," finally begins!
